Anyone know who this was and if they are doing okay?

I saw a Facebook post this morning that said the pilot never lost consciousness, was alert, and moving all extremities.  Probable collapsed lung, and possible back injury.

I understand it was a student. I wasn't there but in touch with people who where. Sounds like classic panic after an event and deep stall with collapse.... heavy hands in a panic state I would suspect based on eye witness. Santa was there and might have more to say. Collapsed lung was fixed with a syringe. Stable and life flight ride.

Thanks for the info.  I'm always on edge when I see these kinds of things pop up in the news without knowing if it's one of my buddies or not.  Hope the person involved gets well soon.
